Overview
When playing Golf, going to the driving range is a training sandbox, while playing on the fairway is the actual play.
Sandbox Characteristics
Reduction
There is a reduction in the complexity of the practice in that you simply focus on your learning your golf swing and calibrating to your irons.
Control
You have the option to choose which of your irons and woods to practice, and what your goal is, like pitching or putting.
Bounded
You can limit your practice by number of hours, or number of minutes you spend on your 7-irons vs. your pitching wedge.
Goal-oriented
You can set a goal for yourself to consistently practice having a flat head when hitting the ball, or consistently keeping your hands straight as you swing.
Evaluated
You can get immediate feedback from this sandbox by evaluating whether the ball went to the right place, and whether you can consistently get the results you want. Alternatively, you can get a coach or a mentor to give you feedback by observing your swing.
Key Learning Points
This example demonstrates how effective training sandboxes isolate specific skills (golf swing technique) while providing immediate feedback and controllable practice conditions.
